It's doubtful that Blizzard intends to turn Angels or Demons into classes D2R Items, considering that the game's focus is on those who are caught between the two. However, as a mortal trapped between Heaven and Hell Tyrael has a unique position in the entirety of Diablo legends. He is more likely to be an actor of balance in the story, or even an impartial voice, instead of taking sides as previously. When he's forced into taking positions, Tyrael understands the importance of mortals, which is the way he is likely to be a part of the events of Diablo 4.
Blizzard's strategy for speccing your character's abilities in Diablo 4 is a blend of the strategy of the studio for Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. Executive producer and head of the Diablo franchise Rod Fergusson put it, "Diablo 2 felt like you had to lock yourself in. You could change your spec every time you faced a challenge. But with D3 you kind of changed your character like you changed your clothes. Everything was gear-based as opposed to skill-based."Fergusson added, "I think the fact that we have skills on the equipment [in Diablo 4] is really nice for experimentation -- as a sorceress I [might] get Blizzard [on a pair of boots] three levels before I should and I can try Blizzard to see if I actually want it."
The game's director Joe Shely told Polygon in an interview with a roundtable the idea of "having your character appear to be a collection of choices you've made can lead to fascinating decisions, or interesting opportunities."Shely declared it's because the Diablo team is aware that players, especially those who are just beginning their journey won't have an understanding of each class's set of skills. Players are likely to want to play around.
"When you examine our respec systems" Shely said, "which are applicable to both the skills tree as well as Paragon for later levels, which is our endgame advancement system. We've really attempted to buy diablo 2 resurrected items design it in a way that makes it clear that choosing a path is crucial and that your character's not like everyone other person's, and that you're able to have plenty of choice to try things out.
